Author Biography

I live in sunny Queensland, Australia and retired after 37 years of Nursing. My husband of 44 years, together with our elderly Jack Russell Terrier and extremely opinionated 26-year-old Cockatiel, enjoy exploring the country with our caravan. When we are at home, we spend our time renovating our home. I write a variety of stories including Western Historical Romance, Contemporary Romance, Male/Male, Menage and Shapeshifter. Each book has a strong focus on story line with romantic interest building throughout. I explore real life issues from kids on the streets to motorcyle war and put my own twist on each one. I hope you enjoy exploring my books and look forward to hearing from you. I can be found at: Website: http: //horsnells.wix.com/susan--1
